Fans of the hit Apple series, The Morning Show, were left on the edge of their seats as the second season came to a close in November 2021. The show’s timeline had come to a halt in March of 2020, just as the pandemic was beginning to take hold and the world was on the brink of lockdown.
With so many possibilities for the next chapter of the show, fans eagerly awaited news of what was to come. Outgoing showrunner Kerry Ehhrin hinted at the direction the show could take, suggesting that it may jump ahead in time or even revisit the past instead of picking up right where it left off. This meant that the COVID-19 pandemic may not be a major focus in the upcoming season.
Finally, on Thursday, the Apple TV+ series revealed a glimpse of what season three has in store. The season is set to premiere on September 13, with two episodes followed by a weekly Wednesday release. The logline for the season reads: “This season, the future of the network is thrown into question and loyalties are pushed to the brink when a tech titan takes an interest in UBA. Unexpected alliances form, private truths are weaponized, and everyone is forced to confront their core values both in and out of the newsroom.”
The star-studded ensemble cast of the third season includes Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, who are also executive producers of the show. They are joined by returning stars Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Greta Lee, and Julianna Margulies. New cast members Nicole Beharie and Jon Hamm will also be joining the talented lineup.
